The Muramatsu Flute 100th Anniversary

Posted on by cgflute in Uncategorized

We are honoured to attend The Muramatsu Flute 100th Anniversary Dinner at Tokyo, Japan on 26th October 2023, as Malaysia representative.

We were welcomed by traditional Japanese string instrument KOTO, and also the SHAKUHACHI, a traditional Japanese flute made of bamboo.
The event started with a KAGAMI BIRAKI ceremony by 4 factory executives. It is the ritual of breaking open sake barrels for future good luck. And when they did the KAGAMI BIRAKI, everyone shout of “Seeeno Yoisho” in Japanese.

The event was hosted by the export manager of Muramatsu, Ishikawa san.
